Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Friday the leadership of North Korea needs to go, and said he expects military leaders are considering options on how best to accomplish that goal.
Mr. Kasich, though, said he does not support a full-scale military operation and declined to fill in how exactly the United States should oust North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and his top allies.
“I believe the best way to solve this problem is to eradicate the leadership,” Mr. Kasich told reporters at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. “I am talking about those who are closest in making the decision that North Korea is following now.”
Mr. Kasich is making the rounds promoting his latest book “Two Paths: America Divided Or United.”
